In nature, natural uranium is mostly treated with uranyl ions (UO 2 2+ ) Is present. The extraction of natural uranium in uranium mining and metallurgy facilities mainly utilizes sulfate to leach uranium in the ore, formed uranium complex anions are selectively adsorbed by strong alkali anion exchange resin, and then the uranium complex is leached from the resin by using a leaching agent, so that the purification and concentration of the natural uranium are realized.
In uranium smelting facilities, the use amount of the strong alkali anion exchange resin is large, a large amount of radioactive strong alkali anion exchange resin containing natural uranium is left after the uranium smelting facilities are retired, and the content of uranium in waste resin is generally 0.1-1 mg/g of dry resin. The radioactivity of the waste strong base anion exchange resins is more than 1Bq/g, and the waste strong base anion exchange resins cannot be treated according to the exemption and can only be placed into a tailing pond for landfill treatment.
Because the volume of the strong base anion exchange resin expands after water absorption, if a large amount of waste strong base anion exchange resin enters the tailing pond and then influences the stability of the tailing pond, the waste strong base anion exchange resin of uranium mining and metallurgy facilities is necessarily treated to reach an exemption level, and then is treated according to general waste.

The treatment method can effectively reduce the uranium content in the uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin, so that the waste strong base anion exchange resin reaches the exemption level.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
the invention provides a treatment method of uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin, which comprises the following steps:
heating and mixing uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin with soluble carbonate and water.
Preferably, the soluble carbonate is one or more of sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate.
Preferably, the mass ratio of the soluble carbonate to the water is 2-20:1000.
Preferably, the mass ratio of the uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin to water is 1:3-10.

The invention provides a treatment method of uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin, which comprises the following steps: heating and mixing uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin with soluble carbonate and water. The strong base anion exchange resin has quaternary ammonium ion exchange functional groups, and the quaternary ammonium-uranyl ion complex is formed after uranium is adsorbed in an ion exchange mode. Under the heating condition, the quaternary ammonium group containing uranyl ions can be subjected to Hofman degradation and fall off from the resin. In addition, uranyl ions and carbonate have strong complexing ability. According to the invention, the uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin is treated by utilizing the characteristics of thermal degradation of the strong base anion exchange resin and easiness in complexing of uranyl ions and carbonate, so that the uranium content in the uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin can be effectively reduced, and the waste strong base anion exchange resin reaches the exemption level.

Because the strong base anion exchange resin has quaternary ammonium ion exchange functional groups, the quaternary ammonium-uranyl ion complex is formed after uranium is adsorbed in an ion exchange mode. Under the heating condition, the quaternary ammonium group containing uranyl ions can be subjected to Hofman degradation and fall off from the resin. In addition, uranyl ions and carbonate have strong complexing ability. According to the invention, the uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin is treated by utilizing the characteristics of thermal degradation of the strong base anion exchange resin and easiness in complexing of uranyl ions and carbonate, so that the uranium content in the uranium-containing waste strong base anion exchange resin can be effectively reduced, and the waste strong base anion exchange resin reaches the exemption level.
